Della
Della stared in horror at Dame Alina. All she could do was watch as Alina began to beg Alden to marry her.
"Please, Alden, marry me! I've always loved you, and much more than her!" Alina gestured rudely at Della. The gnomes stepped up on the podium to get rid of Alina, but Alden told them to leave her.
"I'll deal with this. Alina, I will NEVER marry you. Get that into your tiny head!" Alden said sharply, his accent flowing through the words. Alina looked hurt, but she still kept at it. As Alden continued to refuse to marry Alina, Della finally moved. She breathed deeply, trying to calm down. Della noticed Grady looking unsure, like he wanted to mesmerize Alina to get off the stage. Della suddenly noticed a strange turn in Dame Alina's voice, and fought off a yawn. Oh no, she's trying to use her ability! Della remembered something suddenly. Edaline had insisted she take a leaping crystal along to her wedding that led to an empty place, just in case someone tried to crash the wedding. Looked like Edaline was, after all, the smart one.
Della turned invisible and grabbed the emergency crystal out of her sash. She held it up to the light and instantly, a beam appeared and Dame Alina disappeared.
Alden sighed in relief, smiling at Della.
"Thanks, Dell. I have no idea what I would've done." Alden said. Della hugged him. They turned to the audience only to find that they all had fallen asleep. Everyone had, except for Della, Alden, Grady, Edaline and Kesler. Even the officiator. They all turned to Grady and Kesler.
"Um, guys, do you think you can figure the officiating stuff out?" Alden asked them. Grady and Kesler grinned.
"Anything for a dear friend." Grady said. A few minutes later, the audience woke up just in time to see Della and Alden take their first kiss.
Later
As all the singles gathered for the bouquet throwing, the sun set slowly, giving the field a beautiful twilight effect. Edaline tossed her bouquet into the crowd of guys. After a small skirmish, Grady emerged, triumphant. He grinned at a blushing Edaline as he took a bow. Juline, one of Della's other bridesmaids, tossed her bouquet high in the air, soon to be caught by a blushing Kesler. They were watched by a happy Alden and Della, who sat on a plush couch. Suddenly, the fields were lit up by glowing flowers, forming a huge heart shape around the wedding area. Alden smiled as he realized that this was the gnomes' surprise.
Mushy alert! Ahhh! Oh wait I wrote this… Still GROSS! Sorry this is shorter. But I thought it was okay for a short story. I hope. Thanks,
